News & Announcements

Fewer bugs, improved docs, and a refactored transport layer are just a few of the updates made to Unity Multiplayer this year. This post takes you through the enhancements we’ve made, as well as what can be expected in the future.

We introduced Unity Machine Learning Agents, which allows researchers and developers to transform games and simulations created using the Unity Editor into environments where intelligent agents can be trained using Deep Reinforcement Learning, Evolutionary Strategies, or other machine learning methods through a simple to use Python API.

#UnityTips

The first blog in a series looking at some of the most frequent problems the Spotlight team has encountered while working with clients. It is very important that you think about the structure of your hierarchy throughout the development of your game. This blog walks through common issues with hierarchy structures and provides some guidelines for optimization.

The connection between machine learning and games is something very close to our hearts here at Unity. This is the second blog in a series exploring emerging developments for ML and AI in the gaming realm.

Mind-blowing Demos

Showcased at Unite Austin in October, Neon is a small environment project created by our Demo team’s creative director, Veselin Efremov, in just a couple of days using Unity 2017.1 and models from the Asset Store. In this blog post he shares some thoughts around the project and how it came about.

When we showed the ADAM demo for the first time, everyone was blown away by the look and quality achieved with Unity. But soon, on everyone’s lips, was the question: “How did they do it?”. This is a complete walk-through of how to recreate one entire scene of ADAM from an empty scene.

Unity supports a large number of platforms, which also means there is a wide choice of lighting workflows. Learn how Oats Studios’ lighting artists were able to achieve some very impressive effects in real time.
